CDs and two DVDs

CDs

I was wondering the other day about how long we (the Library) would be buying music on CD. I skimmed an article by David Byrne on the changing music industry and how record labels are becoming increasingly less important. Any musician can now record and mix their music using PC software and then do a small pressing of CDs or sell the content online. We'll see how it goes.

Around the Bend by Randy Travis. You may remember Randy Travis from the motion picture Black Dog.

Perfectly Clear by Jewel. Yodeling Alaskan sings a country tinged rock album.

No End in Sight: the very best of Foreigner by Foreigner. Two discs with a total of 32 songs. Not until I read the track listing did I realize how of their songs I can easily recall. Listen to this next spring and catch them at some county fair.

Superhero Brother by GS. Love and Special Sauce. We had another album by G. Love, Lemonade. The guy uses a stupid name but the blues music is neat - band bio.

Saints of Los Angeles by Motley Crue. There is a listing of current tour dates on the back of disc's slipcase. Is that a hint about the music's shelf life?

DVD

Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster starring [Frankenstein meets the what?]. The evil but beautiful Princess Macuzan and her bald, effeminate dwarf assistant nadir arrive in Puerto Rico to kidnap women to use in repopulating their dying planet. Meanwhile Frank, an American astronaut who is actually an android, crash-lands near the aliens. He becomes Frankenstein, a crazed killer with only half a face.

Bank Job starring Jason Statham. "Small time hoods" are asked to rob safety deposit boxes and are being used for more than they know. A heist movie. Well reviewed.
